Mr. and Mrs. Mike Gorski and chil- W isconsin and mid-west farmers have earned a vacatibn. Throughout the 1941-42 production year, they have exceeded the, quotas Bet for them by America's agricultural leaders. These men and their families, after laboring long houvs to fill the granary of Democracy are planning that "day off" vacation to attend the Wisconsin Victory State Fair, Milwaukee, Aug. 22 - 28. With their day's relaxation and fun, they will grasp the opportunity to glean vital defense messages portrayed by dozens of huge crop and food exhibits designed to increase production, quality, and food values for America and her allies in war. Chief among mind-relaxing features are the greatest grand circuit races in the history of the fair, and possibly the greatest in the country this year. Record breaking two-year-old pacers, led by King's Counsel, which broke the all-time record at Old Orchard, Maine, recently, will scorch the earth on the one mile track at state fair park. King's Counsel broke the record in 2:011 /4, but the race was so close that photographers were asked to develop their films befora the judges would venture a decision. On other occasions, Adios, who was nosed out in the fast time/and Widow's Pride have beaten the great King's Counsel; and there are others in the grand circuit pace which will be held Sunday afternoon, August 2o, which have raced to beat the first named two. The record which King^ Counsel broke stood for ten years, and was made by His Majesty, 2:02, at Indianapolis in 1932. On Wednesday, Nibble Hanover, holder of a half dozen world's records and second only to the great*. Greyhound of recent racetrack fame, is expected. to take the top money in the $3,500 Matron Stake for aged trotters. His record is 1:58%, but he will be forced to the limit by His Excellency, 1:59%, and Volstadtr~a "big moose" which is turning out to be the trotter of the year.. Fifteen of the world's greatest circut acts featuring the Stratosphere man's death-daring ti-icks high in the air, Les Kimris' devilish feats of the . sky, Power's educated elephants, and a group of really funny, side-splitting comic acts are scheduled daily. In the coliseum, the biggest SIM) most competitive night horse show in the history of the fair is expected to be a sellout again this year. Never before has there been so many light horse entries. : ^ / are preciousx Electric cords art made mostly of rubber topper--two materials that are much in demount these days [ Check the electric cords in your bonii, using this guide.

When disconnecting, don't yank on die cord -- take hold of the plug. Never let a cord be-. come twisted or knotted. When not in use, hang it oyer two widely separated hooks, so there will be no sharp bernl. Never run cords under carpets, or nail .... them to the wall or floor. Be sure they «ic away from moving parts of appliances. ; ' wm These xntrenclung shovels axe used by" the Marines around camp, digging trenches', setting up barbed wire entanglements and in many other ways.
